The Spark U Fair

Thousands of visitors attended the Spark U Fair, which was held on Monday December 17 2018, near the gates of the Old Yaring Palace, Yala Province. The event was supported by the Dok Mai Yim Yala Group and Thai Health, with the aim of promoting well-being, local Malay culture, and cooperation within the Southern Thai community. Activities at the fair included cultural performances from local communities and other regions of Thailand as well as market stalls and exhibits displaying local products and culture.

The Spark U project began as a cooperative effort by workers in children and youth sectors to create learning centres in 4 communities in Southern Thailand, including: 1. Baan Maruad 2. Baan Pa Luang 3. Baan Pu Yu and 3. Baan Tha Rae. These 4 learning centres are joined in a cross-cultural exchange program with 7 other learning centres from all across Thailand.
